On MacOS X 10.5 the path for ruby in the three dispatcher-files inside of a rails project is wrong: #!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby It should be: #!/usr/bin/ruby Deployment of a rails application to an other unix or linux box is broken caulse of the wrong path 😉 Test: #!/bin/bash cd ~/Desktop rails broken\_rails\_dispatcher cd broken\_rails\_dispatcher/public cat dispatch.cgi | head -n 1 cat dispatch.fcgi | head -n 1 cat dispatch.rb | head -n 1 The workaround is to exchange the paths every time after creating a rails project… regards jerry ---

It’s not like #!/usr/bin/ruby is a catchall either, that’s not where ruby is on our servers. This is why #!/usr/bin/env ruby exists Fred
